A stunning novel from debut author
Marisa Reichardt. In order to move on after a traumatic experience,
Morgan must learn to forgive - first someone who did something that
might be unforgivable, and then herself. But Morgan can't move on. She
can't even move beyond the front door of the apartment she shares with
her mother and little brother. Morgan feels like she's underwater,
unable to surface. Unable to see her friends. Unable to go to school.
When it seems Morgan can't hold her breath any longer, a new boy moves
in next door. Evan reminds her of the salty ocean air and the rush she
used to get from swimming. He might be just what she needs to help her
reconnect with the world outside.
Underwater is a powerful, hopeful debut novel about redemption,
recovery and finding the strength it takes to face your past and move
on.
